"It'll be a determination how he feels personally and our doctors and trainers and our strength coach, but all indications is he feels great and he looks good," USC coach Andy Enfield said after practice.

James would come off the bench and be on a minutes restriction in his debut, Enfield said.

The elder James has said he would attend his son's first game regardless of whether the Lakers were playing the same day. The Lakers are off Sunday.
